Dev Log | Healers, EUV Light, and more!

Attention Jumpers!

A big thank you to all of you who have claimed your Steam Keys and left us positive reviews! Every little bit helps us achieve our mission of finishing this game strong!

In this update:

New Alien: Healers

New Weapon: Extreme Ultraviolence Light *backer designed!*

Updated Steam Build!

Online Multiplayer Coming Soon!

Healers: Bolstering alien forces

This flying alien appears to be a kind of medical response unit that appears shortly after hives have come under attack. Overgrown pink bulbous organs on the flier’s tail emanate a bio-regenerative field that heals Ordovician biology.

The healing effect of the fliers does not appear to transfer to human anatomy, although further study of captured specimens might be able to advance our research efforts into those fields. Jumpers would be wise to focus fire on these healing fliers, or use explosives to quickly clear swarms which are bolstered by these units.

Extreme Ultraviolence Light

There are no official records on the creation of the so-called Extreme Ultraviolence Light weapon modification. Rumor has it, some weapons techs got into some recovered hive mushroom samples and things got a little out of control. The EUV Light unshackles the matter manipulation protocols of the M4G-AR and releases a photochemical beam of raw energy that produces random and wild effects on anything unlucky enough to be struck by its beam.

Jumpers have reported seeing enemies burst into flames while simultaneously developing a coat of frost on their armor, or watching Ordovician armor dissolve until the alien’s internal organs are exposed and then explode. This weapon modification certainly puts on a show.
